The Reality Line

Crushing all that we have left
it over-comes life
in every last beating heart and breath
like matter formed to life
I watch the come-down
laughing best
Like a stake at the heart
down comes the rest
the restless lies giving all that was mine
the childern sing
in between the reality line

As the waves crash into the mind
crushing all that we have left
on the thinner shrine
this is the reality line
like a breathe
on the lie of what i cannot find
in the endless time of what is real
laughing best
in my cries sleeping into my desguish
like a refugee
sleeping safely on the shrine
Forever my reality line
